Make a sandwich instead of ordering once a year and you will amass the amount of funds necessary to buy some metal cutlery

Bad comparison. You pick up bag because you don't have anything else to carry it. You pick cutlery only if you explicitly don't have it (like eating in car or sth). Normal cutlery is far more convenient than the plastic garbage so

...did you communicate any of that ? Because most of our cases where that happens was either lack of planning or lack of communicating that plan. By far most common one was "neither dev nor client knows the data volume in longer period

Why you think it would be anarchistic society in the first place ?

How is that unexpected or innovative ? you-help-me-I-help-you attitude is staple of small, tight knit communities since forever. Can't exactly build barn single handed easily.

I just hope they won't end up selling RedHat to MS in few years...

If you use SSH agent, key-based auth will fail and fallback to password, because that requires creating file in /tmp that you can't do if partition with ssh ran out of space.

Does nobody have space alerts ?

by ilyt 3y ago
If your smart colleagues can't write a sentence like "we need extra 1TB for next 3 years of growth", they are not smart and you're not either...

Or, you know, have alert on disk space like adults.

It's not for saving storage. It's for making sure it will actually not overflow. End number doesn't matter, what matters is developers thinking about how long data should be stored and what data should be stored. Not doing th

Developer will do the simplest thing to solve the problem. If the solutions are: * rewrite that part to add retention, or use better compression, or spend next month deciding which data to keep and which can be removed early * Wiggle a thin

We tried. Devs when give more space just didn't bother to clean old crap and exact same thing happened but with few months of delay. But then we generally just ask how much do they need and bill project for it so that's generally

Monetary cost is only small part of it (as it got significantly cheaper too, at least for small electronics). The feedback loop is just very long. Few weeks to get PCB unless you pay a lot extra to get it in few days. And even if you own a

3D printing looks like linear scaling and from what I saw 3D printing services are pretty cheap. Yeah they are more expensive than running printer in your garage because they need to earn money too but it's not like the price grows wit

You can get away with it if there is some resistance in series with each one but yeah, the enemy here is that each of the regulators will have slightly different voltage and the unlucky one with highest will handle most of the current. Alth

watchdog timer is not hardware protection. It might seem like it is, as the timer itself is in hardware, and it does occasionally protect from hardware related lockups, but it's all too easy mistake to stick a watchdog refresh in a t

What 'using open source' is some special thing people need to learn ? You install a program and you use a program, 'open source' changes nothing there unless you want to start modifying it

Well, to get actual impact you'd need infrastructure-wide tracing and that's hard. Like, you could hit a cache and serve 95% of page from it. Or hit some long path that will burn half a second on 20 servers in the backend to serve

The other problem is that even if you have car that can do 95% of the driving and only need 5%... ...that makes the human driver, who normally would get say 10k miles of practice every year will drive... 500 miles on average. It really does
